Tainá Rocha

I am a researcher working on patterns of biodiversity distribution, focusing on the impacts of global change (climate change and land-use and land-cover change). My recent interests and work including: 1. Analysis of climate data and land use and land cover data under different scenarios of climate change, 2. Spatial analysis of species diversity (alpha and beta diversity), 3. Ecological niche models/species distribution models and other niche analyses to assess the impacts of global change on biodiversity, 4. Biogeographic patterns and evolutionary history in the Neotropics.
Note: I use open-source tools and platforms. I am interested in good practices about open science (open databases, open software, etc.), good workflows, reproducibility and FAIR principles.
